Cascade River (for Phil)

Upon viewing Phil's recent Lake Superior photos, I saw that he had made an image in the same basic area that I made a photograph last summer. So, for kicks, I figured I'd throw that Cascade River image up to share. I scanned the transparency a month or so ago, but forgot about it, thanks for the reminder Phil! I made this image near sunset, when the gorge was lit with soft, directional light.

Tech stuff: Tachihara 4x5, Fujinon 90mm, Fuji Provia 100f, Polarizer, 81b to balance out the blue shadows

Just for fun, here's a 50% snippet from center of the scan, showing the detail a bit :

Great shots. Looks like the water was quite a bit lower, Unfortunately when I was there late in the day it was raining.

Thanks, though it's only one shot (the second being a closer look at a detail of interest). Yeah, the water level changes enormously from spring to late summer. It was pretty low at this point. Rainy days have their own allure, as you can shoot pretty much at any point in the day. I thought your images turned out well.

Difficult exposure and comp, Joel, but you pulled it off nicely!
